A creditor is suing me but the summons was returned unserved. Can they still have court date Florida?
No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.
